Flowers provide a way to brighten someone’s day or extend sentiments of love, congratulations or condolences. Most people consider flowers one of nature’s many gifts that often provoke emotional responses. They can be soothing or uplifting. Flowers are appropriate for most any situation and do not require you to be intimate with the recipient.
Tradition
Traditionally, flowers are presented on occasions such as Valentine’s Day or Mother’s Day. Lovers and mothers have come to expect a bouquet as an expression of endearment from their loved ones. Flowers are traditional gifts for funerals and provide comfort to the grieving family. Though many hospitals have begun to refuse flower deliveries in certain areas of the building for health reasons, they are traditional gifts to cheer up someone who is ill or recovering at home.
Boost Morale
The beauty of nature’s bounty brings comfort and warmth into an environment. Whether the flower recipient is celebrating an important event or grieving a terrible loss, flowers boost morale and lift the moods of the parties. According to the In Lieu of Flowers website, funeral directors found that flowers can significantly reduce the stress of the bereaved while giving warm support and comfort to the mourners.
Visual
Cards, emails, phone calls and food often share the stage on special occasions and sad events in a show of support offered by friends and family. Flowers stand out among the many gifts and greetings. They last for days or weeks, reminding the recipient of your thoughtful consideration. Flowers aren’t as practical as a meal sent over to help a friend through a tough period, but they acknowledge the emotional side of the event. Flowers are symbols of thoughtfulness, filling an emotional role in the scheme of the event.
Accessibility
When all else fails, you can send flowers. When you’re not quite sure what to send a family member to congratulate her on a promotion, send flowers. When you need to bring a hostess gift, but aren’t sure of the household tastes, stick with flowers. When you waited too long to shop, go online to a site like ProFlowers and send flowers overnight.
